Additional Sessions Judge M C Gupta granted the relief to Kanda considering "special circumstances" that he has to attend the Assembly session and has to look after the development of his constituency Sirsa.

The court directed Kanda to furnish a personal bond of Rs five lakh and two sureties of the like amount.

It also imposed several conditions on him including that he will not leave the country and will not flee from justice.

The court had on Wednesday reserved its order on Kanda's plea after hearing arguments from his counsel and the prosecution.

Recently, the court had also granted interim bail till November 15 to Aruna Chadha, Kanda's employee and co-accused in the case, for attending religious and family events.

Earlier during the arguments, Kanda's counsel had said that he is an MLA from Haryana and he wanted to attend the Assembly session for which he was seeking interim bail.

"He is an MLA from Sirsa which is a big constituency. He has to perform many obligations and welfare activities for his people. Funds for his constituency are lying unutilized. Public is suffering, in the end," the counsel had said.
